When he woke up, it was already noon of the next day. Chen Rui felt that his spirit had recovered about 30%, and he drank a bottle of Spirit Recovery Potion that he exchanged. Although he figured out the mystery of < Deep Analysis > last night, he also paid a certain price for rushing for results. Spirit was not only the power to cast magic, but it was also the source of will and perception. In the case of insufficient spirit, forcing himself to train would be counterproductive, so Chen Rui planned to start training after he fully recovered.
He once experimented with entering the ordinary training ground with time rule, but the time rule didn't work for the recovery of spirit in this situation, so he had to exit again. He wasted 2000 auras in vain. It seemed that he could only rely on potions and sleep to recover. < Deep Analysis > was indeed powerful, but this skill must be used cautiously in the future.
It was estimated that it would take another two days for his spirit to fully recover. In terms of time, he could rely on the training ground's rule to supplement, but now it seemed that he still needed a lot of auras. At that time, he was a little impulsive when he drank the black potion, but facing the temptation of permanently increasing strength after drinking the potion, it was already considered good to be able to keep 120,000 auras.
Including the True Spirit Potion that he exchanged with Aldas and the 20,000 auras consumed by < Deep Analysis > last night, he only had 90,000 auras left. Auras were like money; they came and went quickly. However, in the process of coming and going, it was his own strength that grew, so there was nothing to be regretful about.
The black potion, Eternal Body and Eternal Mind that he hadn't exchanged were estimated at 200,000 auras. The 8-fold gravity, 10-fold time rule, or even 100-fold time rule required more auras. He got 160,000 black crystal coins from Silva last time, and now there were about 80,000 left. However, there shouldn't be much aura left after the old dwarf plundered the aura materials on the market a while ago.
However, Chen Rui had an idea for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have exchanged for the black potion rashly.
That was Mountain Xilang. Mountain Xilang's "waste ores" were unusable waste items for ordinary people; for Chen Rui, it was an urgently needed source of aura, and there was a lot of it! From the information, this kind of waste ores appeared four hundred years ago. It was likely to be produced by some special "pollution" of the underground demonic beasts. In other words, Mountain Xilang had accumulated hundreds of years of "waste ores". Even if a piece could only provide two-digit aura and was far inferior to magic materials in terms of "quality", it was a terrifying data in terms of "quantity".
Danger and opportunity always went hand in hand. Chen Rui decided to go to Mountain Xilang before his duel with Arux. However, before that, he had to get a map. Otherwise, he would be flying around like a headless fly. Even if he had wyverns, it would be a waste of time.
Just as Chen Rui was thinking, the imp knocked on the door, "Master, are you there?"
Under normal circumstances, Slee would not rashly disturb him. Chen Rui got up and opened the door. "What's the matter, Slee?"
"Her Royal Highness invites you to the meeting hall."
Chen Rui knew that Jía would not interrupt his "inheritance trial" for no reason. There must be something important. Besides, his spirit had not recovered yet, so it was not suitable for him to train. Therefore, he immediately rushed to the meeting hall.
In the meeting hall, other than Jía, there was also a beautiful figure that Chen Rui had not seen for a long time. Including the time spent in the training ground, it had been a few months. To be honest, he still missed her a little, especially when he was breaking through at the critical moment of life and death. This figure was one of the reasons that stimulated his outburst.
"Chen Rui!" A familiar voice rang out, tinged with a hint of surprise. The familiar purple hair, the familiar red eyes, but the blush that flashed across his usually bold face made him a little unfamiliar.
"Athena!" Chen Rui was also very happy. "You have completely adapted to the power of Higher Demon?"
"En! However, I can only barely reach the early stage of Higher Demon now. It will be more and more difficult in the future. " Athena nodded vigorously. She looked at him for a moment, and the excitement on her face suddenly turned into worry. "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Did you take any medication? "
Due to the sequelae of < Deep Analysis >, Chen Rui's current mental state was very bad. Athena could see it at a glance.
"Yes, there is a small situation, but it's not a big deal. I will be fine after a few days of rest."
Feeling Athena's undisguised concern, Chen Rui's heart was warm. Then, he heard Jía also said, "Don't force yourself too much in terms of the mission. Also, the Cloak Gang you mentioned last time has become one of the reserve forces of the imperial guards."
"I understand, Princess Royal."
Chen Rui heard that the first half of Jía's sentence was a vague concern. She was talking about the "inheritance trial". Although it seemed very cold in front of Athena, it was still quite useful in his heart. The second half of the sentence showed Jía's attitude on the matter of "Aguile". She had undoubtedly agreed with Chen Rui's trust in Aguile.
However, if it was just about Athena and the Cloak Gang, Jía wouldn't specifically summon him to the council hall. He waited for her to continue.
"Tomorrow morning is the time for the quarterly meeting. You have to come."
Regular meeting? I seem to have heard from Royce that it's rare to have two days off, but I still have to work overtime. I don't know if I can get employee benefits …
"Initially, I didn't want you to attend this regular meeting, but Joseph and several family representatives specifically want to see you, the new secretary. It's not good to refuse. This kind of request is reasonable, but Joseph won't speak without reason. At the regular meeting, you have to be wary of him using your human identity to make a fuss. If you really can't do it, you can resign from your position as the secretary. "
Chen Rui finally understood. It turned out to be a smiling tiger playing tricks behind the scenes. He definitely didn't have any good intentions. It seemed that he had to be careful in tomorrow's regular meeting. However, as Jía said, if he really couldn't do it, he would quit the position of the secretary. He would be firm if he had no desires. He wouldn't give Joseph a chance to make a fuss. With Jía's trust in him, he would still do what he had to do.
Jía saw that he nodded and understood. She knew that Chen Rui already knew what to do, so she didn't say much. She put a space bracelet on the table, "This is the superb vine stone that Joseph brought back from the Red Spirit Estate. Alice told me that she had promised to give you her six pieces, so the one hundred pieces inside and this space bracelet are all yours."
One hundred pieces! Not sixty-six pieces?
Chen Rui was pleasantly surprised. He almost imitated the old dwarf and said, "Princess Royal's generosity is comparable to the Demon Realm's two moons." However, he knew that Jía didn't like to listen to this kind of empty talk, so he simply said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
The space bracelet was of little value to Chen Rui who had a storage warehouse. Besides, he had already seized Silva's space ring. Not to mention that after entering the Mizar state, the storage warehouse's capacity had expanded a lot. Now, he had more space but less things. However, storage space equipment was considered rare equipment in the Demon Realm. This was also the beautiful boss's kind intentions, so of course, he had to accept it.
Jía nodded slightly. She looked at Chen Rui and Athena. Suddenly, she lowered her eyes and looked at the document in her hand. She said without raising her head, "Athena just finished her training, so she hasn't seen Alice yet. You guys go to the Princess Retail Store. I believe Alice will be very happy to see you guys. "
Athena also wanted to see Alice, so she left the palace with Chen Rui.
"Chen Rui, didn't Princess Royal assign you a mission for two months? How is it going? "
"There's still half left." Chen Rui thought of something. "By the way, Athena, have you been to Mountain Xilang?"
"En! In the first year I came to the Dark Moon, I went to that area to train. "Athena nodded." But at that time, the bandits hadn't started to disturb the mine yet. "
"So … if I go by wyvern, how long will it take to get there?" Chen Rui saw that there were few people nearby, so he asked in a low voice.
"Do you want to train long-distance beast flying?" Athena's eyes lit up.
Chen Rui naturally wouldn't tell the truth. He followed her guess and asked, "Actually, this is just an assumption. Can you answer me?"
Athena blinked and replied, "Although the wyvern's flying ability is strong, there is a limit. You must choose a place to rest and feed the wyvern on the way. Then, you must choose a safe place to sleep at night. If you go alone, even if you have a map, it may take about six days. So, if you decide to do this kind of training, you can save at least half the time if you have an experienced guide. "
After all, Athena wasn't that kind of old fox. The urgent expression on her pretty face had clearly written the words "I'm the guide". Chen Rui smiled slightly, but he was calculating in his heart: 6 days. The round-trip trip is 12 days. I have to fight Arux in less than a month. Time is really tight. Do I really have to bring this guide along?
As they were talking, the two had arrived at the Princess Retail Store. They saw customers coming out one after another, and they kept looking back. It seemed that something happened in the store.
Chen Rui and Athena walked in and saw that there were only the succubus and imp left on the first floor. Kaguli, who was responsible for "security", was gone. A group of people were blocking the stairs on the second floor and confronting each other. The two hurried forward.
"Athena!"
A greeting from the entrance of the second floor made Athena frown. Her good mood suddenly became bad. When everyone heard it, they made way for them.
The person who spoke was the person that Athena hated the most, the sheriff and guard general, Alan Karon.
"It turns out to be Athena and our Dark Moon's new secretary, Sir Chen Rui."
Another voice with a hidden knife in his smile also sounded. It also made Chen Rui feel uncomfortable, but he still bowed slightly politely, "Sir Joseph."
It turned out that the two sides of the confrontation were Joseph and Alan's group. Joseph was still smiling, but Royce and Vasasha behind him showed a strong hostility toward Alan's group.
Although Alan had more subordinates, none of them were Higher Demon. They seemed to be cowering under the pressure of that imposing manner. It felt like they were trying to act tough. It was mainly because the Karon Family's strongest Higher Demon, Sarado, and Arux were both injured, and Mikas was dead. Alan couldn't come up with a powerhouse that could support the situation at the moment, so he could only rely on numbers to scare people.
"Sir Secretary, you seem to be unwell?" Joseph noticed that Chen Rui was in low spirits, so he asked with concern.
Chen Rui knew that this guy was a weasel paying a visit to a chicken with bad intentions, so he replied, "Sir, I'm sorry. My physique has been poor since I was young. I was seriously ill recently, so I didn't come out much."
Joseph glanced at Athena and smiled meaningfully, "So that's the case. No wonder even the genius girl of our Great Demon clan has hardly shown up recently."
As soon as this sentence was said, Chen Rui only felt that two fiery eyes fell on his face. It was Alan. Chen Rui was already used to this kind of gaze, so he completely ignored it. However, Joseph's words transferred Alan's anger to Chen Rui. It was indeed sinister.
"Athena! Your training is finally over? "The two groups of people were separated, and Alice's surprised voice sounded.
Now, everyone was here.
